Volunteer to Walk
Did you know you can earn volunteer hours by walking in any of Carry The Load's Memorial May events?
Many families who serve have no idea how many people support them. Carry The Load provides a way to connect these families to civilians to share stories which provides healing and gratitude for both. Learn more about our month-long Memorial May campaign or Dallas Memorial March. We hope to see you there!
